I need some help please. I decided to try treadling. My machine will sew a few stitches and than the needle becomes unthreaded. The needle is new. I have taken the needle out to make sure that the flat side is on the right, just like the manual says. I have rethread it and made sure that I threaded it right to left. Both the top and the bottom thread seems to move smoothly. The machine has plently of oil. I just had it service by a vintage repair man. Does anyone have any idea of the the problem could be? Kathie

Sorry about that. I am glad that you got it out. These cats are into everything. I did keep the machine in the box, but hair does fly. Kathie

It looks like an exact clone of a Singer 15. This is the only Kenmore I have seen that looks like this. Does anyone know anything about this model machine? I couldn't find numbers on the machine, at all.

Has anyone seen this machine before and know the approximate age? I'm thinking mid-50's...

It looks like the Kenmore power cord is there. It may have tape on it, in which case you'd want to have it checked before plugging it in. My Singer 128 from 1952 has the cord wired into the motor - not a plug in like the 1956 301.
